Cat Tumford is a rude "noise-making machine" (slurping, burping, and worse)--just for attention. Put in a time-out, the kitty heeds advice readers are prompted to give--"Whisper these words in Tumford's ear if you would..."--and he henceforth behaves himself. Silly illustrations of the mischievous cat pair with peppy rhyming couplets containing frequent direct-addresses that are overtly preachy but also engaging.
